Haiti: WTF?

if someone runs over pat robertson with a mack truck several times, can we just presume it was because he had a pact with the devil?

what a despicable, evil man.

For fuck's sake why didn't Rush die from those chest pains.

enough about those cunts - what the fuck @ this earthquake, this is terrible

Thanks for the clarification and links re: cell phone contributions. I'm very given to distrusting my cell phone company.

well accidentally watched that pat robertson thing on another website and am going fucking apoplectic

rush is looking ill recently, i kinda "worry" about his health!

honestly i think pat robertson is going senile

i don't care

yeah there are def scams around i just posted it because i know it's easy to put stuff off and it's a small enough amount. that one and the wyclef one are legit.

actually, no, i do. because telling myself he's senile is probably the only thing making me believe that basically people are ok.

see that's what i try to think, otherwise i lose my shit. incredible asshole drivers = they're en route to the emergency room to see their grandmother. etc

yeah, i don't really believe that anymore.

haha if this is evidence of him going senile now he's been senile for decades, poor guy

yeah it doesn't help me actually...

Let's take a moment to imagine what Pat Robertson would have said if Haiti had been a white, Christian country.

No, nevermind, if it was that, they wouldn't have been getting fucked so hard for the last 500 years, and this would be a bad earthquake instead of something almost impossible to wrap your head around.

let's take a moment to stare into the mouth of madness and pure rage

pat robertson is the number 2 trending topic on twitter and NOT ONE person is defending him anywhere in the entire world. not one.
the most common retweet being "I thought "Pat Robertson" was trending because was dead. Turns out it's just because everyone wishes he was."

who knew that tweeting could feel so good

CNN's Gary Tuchman reports that bodies are lying in the streets of Port-au-Prince. He says there are no emergency officials in sight, and residents are watching the flies to find out where to dig in the rubble.

I really don't think we're able to predict just how bad this is going to be. I mean, Katrina was a straight mind-bludgeon that something that bad and that negligent could happen in the USA.

Not to make light of the sitch in NOLA, but this is going to make Katrina look like the acid trip sequence from Easy Rider. Fuck, this is really depressing.

And yeah, Pat Robertson should be banned from all media outlets. By Constitutional amendment, if need be.

The Constitution won't let us make a law like that, unfortunately.

my tommy gun will

j/k federal observers, i do not own a tommy gun nor have any desire to use one

xp Forming a militia now, are we?

Too much Montana, obv.

i still haven't watched footage/seen pics from this, i'm kinda not ready, tbh.

I WAS KIDDING

still think we should send him into the sun once we have the technology

I WAS KIDDING TOO

shhhh kenan the feds are watching u

Not really sure why this thread has become 2/3 devoted to Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson. Seems kind of besides the point.

My first destination for international disaster related charitable giving is always the Red Cross. Is this in fact the best place to give?

Seems kind of besides the point.

You get a patch for honor. But what are we going to do? Besides give money? Which I have to believe helps.

pls allow me impotent rage

Yes, give to the Red Cross.

I didn't do myself any favors by going to Rush's website :\

it does help Kenan.

give to: MSF, PIH, Red Cross

I agree there isn't much to do, or say. I just hate the idea of talking about these fuckers and their smallness.

What really galls me is how big they are, though.

PIH is probably my choice, fwiw, but anything helps

gave $10, thanks for links and info upthread

kenan, haiti IS a christian country.

freaking out that there's not more i can do :(

xp I realized soon after I posted that I had used an unnecessary comma. I said "white, Chiristian country" when what I meant was "white Christian country."

Nevertheless, the perception persists that all Haitians practice voodoo.

And anyway they're rally poor! Something must be wrong with them.

I read the archdiocese of Port-au-Price died in the quake.

xpost

Archbishop that is.

kenan, haiti IS a christian country.

Also -- big difference between a Catholic country and a Protestant one, at least from where Pat Robertson sits.
